SHANGHAI & SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NIO Inc. (“NIO” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NIO), a pioneer in China’s
premium electric vehicle market, launched the NIO ES6 on December 15,
2018 during the annual NIO Day celebration. This high-performance
long-range intelligent electric SUV starts at a pre-subsidy price of
358,000 RMB, and is available now for public pre-order via the NIO app,
with delivery to start in June 2019.

Powerful, All-round Performance

The NIO ES6 boasts high performance. It features dual motors in
conjunction with an intelligent electric all-wheel-drive system
delivering output power of up to 400 kW (544 hp), peak torque of 725 Nm
and 0-100 km/h acceleration in as little as 4.7 seconds.

High-performance independent suspension, Continuous Damping Control
(CDC), intelligent electric all-wheel drive come standard, and users
also have the option of equipping vehicle with next-gen active air
suspension. Drivers can also switch between multiple driving modes,
bringing a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

The ES6 sports the only body design with a hybrid structure of aluminum
alloy and carbon fiber in its class. It's composed of 91% aluminum
throughout the vehicle, with innovative use of aircraft-grade 7 Series
aluminum. Structural elements made of high-strength carbon fiber make
the ES6 lighter and more solid.

An overall torsional stiffness of 44,930 Nm/degree is the highest among
production SUVs globally.

Two Efficient Motors and a 510-km Range

The ES6 is the world’s first SUV equipped with a combination of
permanent magnet and induction motors, which allows for power and
endurance alike. The front permanent magnet motor delivers power of up
to 160 kW, peak torque of 305 Nm and an energy conversion rate of 97%;
the rear induction motor delivers 240 kW and 420 Nm and contributes to
fast acceleration.

The 84-kWh liquid-cooled thermostatic battery pack, optional across the
range, features world-class NCM 811 cathode material and energy density
of up to 170 Wh/kg.

The ES6 features an excellent lightweight design and drag coefficient Cd
of only 0.28 which both contribute to a combined range of up to 510 km.

As NIO Power continues to expand, the combination of home charging,
mobile charging vehicles, battery swap stations and the One Touch
Charging service will further ease user concerns in regards to range.

Advanced Intelligent Experiences

The NIO digital cockpit built on the NOMI in-car artificial intelligence
(AI) system is integrated with a speech-based interactive system. An
upgraded HUD, digital instrument cluster and 11.3 inch second-generation
multitouch screen put all vehicle information at the users’ fingertips.

ES6 features pre-installed NIO Pilot hardware, including a Mobileye
EyeQ4 chip and 23 sensors. NIO Pilot supports over 20 functions covering
typical scenarios of car use in China. Functions can be upgraded over
time via firmware-over-the-air (FOTA).

An intelligent fragrancing system offers four different fragrances for a
more pleasant occupant experience. This optional system interacts with
the vehicle’s other systems for automatic paring with different user
accounts and situations.

The ES6 has a length of 4,850 mm, a width of 1,965 mm, a height of 1,768
mm and a wheelbase of 2,900 mm, bringing a comfortably large space.

This new model continues the NIO family design language. The X-bar
across the front end is in the same color as that of the body,
integrating with the sweeping turning lights and smoky daytime running
lights. This, plus the low-drag grille, tilted D pillars, sharp and
straight window lines, more streamlined heartbeat taillights and rear
shark fin style reflector design, highlights stylishness and sportiness.

In 2019, NIO plans to fully upgrade three service systems, namely, NIO
House, NIO Service and NIO Power. It also plans to open 70 NIO Houses
and pop-up NIO Houses by the end of the same year. Depending on user
needs, NIO will also set up more battery swap stations for expressways.

In addition to the G4 Expressway battery swap network, NIO has partly
finished building the battery swap network for the G2 Beijing-Shanghai
Expressway and the G15 Shenyang-Haikou Expressway, which are both soon
to be completed.

NIO has built a nationwide support network. By 2019, it plans to open
over 300 service outlets to further enhance its ability to offer
services.
